Mehar dreams of freedom and a life with her children. Asiya dreams of
her daughter's happiness. Sajida dreams of becoming a doctor. Subaida
dreams of the day when her family will become free of woes. Parveen
dreams of a little independence, a little space for herself in the
world. Mothers, daughters, aunts, sisters, neighbours... In this tiny
Muslim village in Tamil Nadu, the lives of these women are sustained by
the faith they have in themselves, in each other, and the everyday
compromises they make. Salma's storytelling - crystalline in its
simplicity, patient in its unravelling - enters this interior world of
women, held together by love, demarcated by religion, comforted by the
courage in dreaming of better futures.
